I bought a nice 12k mile '04 GSXR 600. Like many older bikes with low miles it is in need of fork seals. I also want to have the shock/forks re oiled and resprung for my weight so that I can make the most out of my bike at the track. I wouldn't have bought this Japanese torture device if on track performance was not a priority. So do the '06'07 forks and shock swap out? They seem to be more plentiful on the used market and it would be easier for me if I could have parts rebuilt and ready to drop in when the old stuff comes out.

nope, 06 07 forks won't fit. there's my writeup around here somewhere where I show how to properly disassemble and put together 04-05 forks without springs compressor, that might be useful to you. search for the "fork service tips and tricks"
